Hello piano friends and welcome to my 5.000 subscribers special on my channel 'TheTasteOfPiano'.
5.000 subscribers
More than 1.5 million video views
Thank you so much for your support!
I've been thinking a lot in advance, what I could do for a special video for this occasion.
I decided to take you with me and look back to three years of 'Mr. Pianoman | TheTasteOfPiano'.
I would like to look at with you, how it all began here on my channel
and I'll also tell you my personal video highlights.
Enjoy it!
With this simple and unspectacular video everything has begun...
...namely with my piano instrumental cover of Adele's Skyfall,
the theme song of the eponymous James Bond film.
This music video was the starting gun to my YouTube channel on 1st November 2012, at exactly 11:46 am.
At this time, I even didn't have an own video camera.
That's why I just could make such a simple animated video to my Skyfall cover.
For the next video I borrowed a camera and produced a more complex video.
I've even sung to a song for the first and also for the last time, so far.
Crazy, how fast time flies.
'Hallelujah' is the 4th music video, I posted on my channel.
This song is particularly close to my heart,
because I associate it with my mother's death in November 2010.
For this reason, I also shot the video scenes in a cemetery.
In November 2013 I finally landed my biggest YouTube hit with my piano version of 'I See Fire'.
More than 470,000 times the video has been viewed so far.
Well, the original video by Ed Sheeran is still far away...
after all, the official video for the 2nd part of the Hobbit trilogy has been viewed more than 154 million times.
But as the saying goes...
...everyone has to start somewhere.
Since in the end of 2013 the YouTube channel of my band Junik was deleted by YouTube for unexplained reasons
and Junik decided not to found a new channel,
I've uploaded the first Junik videos on my Pianoman channel in December 2013
to preserve some of our Junik videos for the public.
The first video - a cover of Robbie Williams' Angels -
has not hit up today.
By the way, the video was the first YouTube video, I did with my two guys from Junik.
However, our acoustic version of 'Hotel California', I posted in January 2014, received much more resonance.
With about 300,000 views the video is the second-most successful video on my channel, behind 'I See Fire'.
It should be noted, that my band Junik has its own Youtube channel again since the beginning of 2014,
due to high demand.
You can find the link thereto in the description for this video.
Well, I'm almost at the end with my retrospective to three years Mr. Pianoman.
But as last, I want to share with you my very personal video highlights from my channel.
Perhaps among my favorites there might be a video, that you have not seen yet.
First of all there are my two piano medleys, in which I invested much time and a lot of passion.
My medley of famous movie theme songs, for example, I still love to play on my live concerts.
Another recommendation is my instrumental version of 'Man In The Mirror'.
For me, the song is one of the greatest title of the King of Pop, I also love to hear in the original version as well.
As last, there's the song 'Today We Save The World', which I composed with my band Junik.
The video to this piano ballad is kept pretty simple in black and white
and for me the video has a timeless charakter.
Also the message of the song, that we're all together responsible for the fate of our world,
is today more relevant than ever before.
If you should have not seen the mentioned videos yet,
take a little time, sit back and enjoy a bit the music here on my channel.
Have lots of fun with it.
I hope you have enjoyed this journey into the past of my channel 'TheTasteOfPiano'.
If so, then don't forget to give me a thumbs up for this video
and when you have not subscribed yet to my channel, then you know what you have to do now ;)
Thank you so much for watching. I hope you're back next time with this.
Take care, all the best to you, see you soon ... your Mr. Pianoman
